If you are in need of dental veneers, you might have heard of porcelain as popular veneer material. To find out more about what porcelain veneers are and benefits of using them, it’s best to consult a professional. At Lowitz & Meier’s family dentistry office in Cincinnati, OH, the team of qualified dentists can help determine the best course of dental action for their patients.

Here is a breakdown of some of the advantages of porcelain veneers:

• Natural Appearance: Because of their white and translucent appearance, porcelain veneers are best at mimicking the look of actual tooth enamel. When light reflects off porcelain veneers, it has the same effect as it would from reflecting off normal teeth. As a result, porcelain veneers can look like normal teeth.
• Stain-Resistant: If teeth whitening options don’t work for the stains on your teeth, porcelain veneers can be a good option. Stains from foods and drinks can be wiped off porcelain’s ceramic material easily so that your teeth can remain white. Porcelain veneers are also effective at covering up other flaws in your teeth, such as gaps or chips.
• Longevity & Durability: Porcelain veneers bond strongly to your teeth, making them an option that lasts long and isn’t sensitive to wear and tear. Porcelain veneers can last at least 10 years—up to 20 if they’re taken care of well. Their durability makes them highly resistant to scratches.

Even while considering the advantages of porcelain crowns, it is important to remember that everyone’s teeth are different, so consult with your dentist about the best option for you. Providing treatment for children and adults alike, Lowitz & Meier’s long-standing private practice has established itself as a leading family dentistry office in the Cincinnati area.
